The cylinder head temperature sensor in the 2013 Ford Escape functions similarly to the engine coolant temperature sensor. It is located on top of the cylinder head, situated behind the valve cover and below the air inlet pipe. The sensor monitors the temperature of the head and transmits this information to the car's main computer. Using data from the cylinder head temperature sensor, the main computer determines the appropriate fuel injection amount and regulates the operation of the cooling fans. Additionally, the sensor controls the coolant temperature gauge on the dashboard. When replacing the sensor yourself, it is important to avoid overtightening it to prevent potential cracking or damage to the cylinder. Refer to the recommended torque specifications provided in the owner's manual. A faulty sensor may lead to overheating or difficulties starting the Escape.
